Making Nice

I’d hate to state the obvious here, but it looks like Barack Obama’s Middle East foreign policy has gone kaput. According to his calculations and those of the left, it should have worked because he’s been so darned nice to the Arabs. Even though they have ties to terrorism, he’s given two-billion dollars a year of our tax money to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. He bent over to kiss the ring of King Faisal in Saudi Arabia and he snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

But that doesn’t seem to have been enough, so now they are rioting in the streets over a supposedly defamatory film, which is actually quite entertaining. They’ve murdered our Ambassador to Libya and three other embassy personnel, and they’ve burned our flag. They must have short memories or maybe they want the deed to all our real estate, which I fear they’re going to get should Obama be reelected.

Allegedly, the State Department had information about the attack on the US Embassy in
Libya two days before it happened, though our dear government didn’t act on it, yet our President and press had the nerve to comment on Mitt Romney’s anger or an accusation that he was trying to politicize the whole affair. In their minds a rightful opinion must equal politicization or something along those lines.

The bottom line is that Obama is in trouble not only at home but abroad as well, and I fear that he’s going to do even more damage should he be allowed to finish what he started. Pray that it doesn’t happen before he totally dismantles this country and we all wind up being obliged to study the Quran.
